I swear to Goddess, if I live to be 100...

I will never understand how some people think. Has anyone been following the Terri Schiavo case?

For those of you that haven't the slightest clue as to what I'm talking about, here's a brief synopsis.

Terri Schiavo has been, and I quote, in a 'persistive vegetative state' for FIFTEEN years, and her poor husband who just wants to move on has been given shit in large doses for wanting to end her suffering. And now there's this big brouhaha over reinserting her feeding tube.

This woman is not going to just to snap out of it. She ain't getting better.

Fifteen years? How is relying on a feeding tube considered 'living?' Where is the fucking 'quality of life' these assholes protest in favor of by taping the word 'LIFE' over their mouths?

Oh, this fucking pisses me off. The staunch Republicans would have us live in the fucking stone age, I swear.

I don't have any of the articles in front of me, so I may be getting some of this wrong, by in 1999, when he was Governor of Texas, Bush is supposed to have approved of this bill that allows hopeless patients to be taken off life support/feeding tubes/whatever if their families can no longer pay, regardless of their families' wishes.

I probably worded that poorly. I have a bad cold, and it hurts to think. >_<

Still, hypocrisy, anyone?

And, um, if the Bush Administration is so concerned about life, how about universal healthcare?

No kidding.

But then I'm hearing about this case on my Canadian news station, and well, I think our health care system is extremely screwed up but at least people actually get help here so...

I should just be thankful I live in Canada, I guess. :\

Sometimes I really wish I lived in Canada.

Apparently, to merit attention from the US Government, one must be either a fetus or a vegetable. Wonderful. >_

Canada has it's good points and bad points. Our government is pretty dense as well... Let's just say I have little faith in government as it is but when they spend millions of dollars trying to figure out where a couple million dollars went? I am not going to be very impressed.

They try to be all about the good of the people though, or they say they are anyway.

Heh. True about US Government... although you forgot that you have to be a "terrorist" who they previously gave moneys weapons too as well. Not that they'd admit it, right?

Yeah he did

GO BUSH! Protect those big business and christian interests! Even if it makes you a totally morally bankrupt -_-

I loathe and will always loathe Bush. Anything he does is seen as a hidden agenda by a doofus only concerned about his "beliefs" to me.

That man really, really needs to be reminded that more than half (I'm guessing) of his country isn't Christian.

Too bad he seems to have a lot of people brainwashed by the "OMG GAYS, BROWN-SKINNED NON-CHRISTIAN (the so-called American ideal, anyone? *snerk*) AMERICANS, ETC, all bad!" thing. Ugh.

Hypocrisy? Nah :P
